DM's 52 - Week 8 - Mechanical

Present... wow... but it is showing off... maybe a bit Paul... stunning though. People, an excellent capture.
 
Hi there Paul,

Week 7 is a great shot. Probably my favourite of your selection so far. You've captured the moment well.

Their faces are a little dark - have you tried dogding it out a bit? Then again this is the second 52 out of 2 that I've said looks dark. Could be my screen...

Ian.

Thanks Ian - There's not a lot of PP crop / auto levels / resize and sharpen, there faces are a little dark as they are in shadow from the sun , will have a play to see if i can lighten them up a bit.
 
Hi, love you beach theme, think the Street one is my fav although this last one is a great moment captured....and I have to say that does look like a springer spaniel surfing in the background :D
 
Week 8 - Mechanical

The internals of a old Hard drive lit with desk lamps and silver paper / card, then processed in a POTY round 3 style for some practice.

All C&C welcome

I like what you've done there. The light really gives it something extra and the angle and processing give it that extra mechanical feel. Needed a dust first though :) Nicely done :thumbs:
 
That's a phenomenal present shot! I don't mean to sound rude, but is it genuine and done in camera? I know I don't frequent the macro section, but holy carp... Alby has some serious competition with that one!

That is exactly what I was going to say. I have a feeling the present was added afterwards. Please put us out of our misery and tell us.

However, you did it, it is fantastic.

Not rude at all - i should have put some text around it really, it a bit of both the drop and the refraction are real then I've added a layer with the present blended on top as i couldn't get the refraction as sharp as i wanted - i need to change my drops rig so i can move the backgrounds backwards / forwards to get the refractions sharp.
 
That present shot is quite amazing :notworthy:
OK, so you gave the refraction a bit of a boost in PP, but it's still a fantastic shot - and not a cop out AT ALL !

People : A lovely capture and very well spotted. Living in Cornwall I don't blame you at all for bringing as much of the beach into your 52 as you can :thumbs:
(I think it may just be the monitor that I'm using since nobody else has mentioned it, but the colours look very slightly off to me :thinking:)

Mechanical : Colours are beautiful in this one and the lighting is spot on. Lovely crisp, sharp shot - a very good take on the theme :thumbs:
 
love that mechanical shot Paul... Lots of fine mechanicals in there... love the lighting effect on the platter too.
